The Misses Glenn are spend ing a short while visiting their father, who has a flourishing school at Worth ville, and after a few days will return to Atlanta, where they have very important positions in a large dry goods emporium |of that city. Girls, your pleasant visits I are always appreciated. Do call again, won’t you ? Dr. Buttrill desires to inform all mules that he is not running a liyery stable, and when they come to town they must act more decorous, or he will have the marshal lock ’em up. One day last week, as he was fillin a prescription for a dozen cigars, one of these pesky “var miHts” sauntered into his nicely equip ped drugstore, and after looking around and inspecting his goods, quietly turned and took his departure. As he didn’t make his want# known, it is reasonable to suppose that he wanted some stock powders. Mr. R. S.

Mr. Brown has an experience of 20 years in buying goods, and all the cash behind him a man could desire. Look at this firm’s half page ad. in this issue aud * you will be convinced that they mean | business. The truth is, any business will | advertise their bargains if they have any, and this accounts for the big ad. the New York Store always has m the Argus. Keep your eye on their ad. aud save money. There was a meeting at the Methodist church Monday night for the purpose of revising the roll. Some time during the services it was developed that the church owed seventy-three dollars and fifty cents. Mr. Asa Smith arose and said he would giye fifteen dollars toward the liquidation of the debt. The brethren followed with teu aud five dollar dona tions so rapidly that the money was raised iu five minutes. We are glad the Christian people of Jackson will not allow the house of God to remain in debt. NEW LIW. The Legislature at its last session passed a law requiring all dealers who sell Loaded Shells, Pistol or Rifle Cartridges, to pay a spec ial tax of $25 per year. This includes all kinds of Cartridges and Shell?. We learn that, Mr. A. G. Hitchens, our hardware merchant, will pay the tax, as he has a full stock of these goods, though he says there is not twenty-five dollars profit in handling SheHs and Cartridges. There will be many true bins against merchants under this law, if they continue to sell Cart ridges. thinking it is the old law. gggggggg Proprietors of Tiio New 1 York Store, Jackson, Georgia. Mr. R, L. Daughtry, chairman of the finance committee of the Baptist church of Jacksoh, stated last Sunday that the church lacked $121.40 of being even with its obligations. Mr, F. S. Etheridge said he would give twenty dollars of the amount, and the brethren began to call out ten or five dollars at a jump, until they ran over the amount in three min utes, and there wex-e many who wanted to give from one to five dollars to the deficit who were actually crowded out. It is gratifying to see brethren quietly and willingly meet a duty thus. A man in Butts county, who a short time ago put his name before the people of the county for the responsible posi tion of tax collector, is not a subscriber to the Arous, which i3 the county paper. The people wisely refused to giye him the office, for a man who would be will ing for our county to have its legal ad- 1 vertisiug done in some other connty, has not enough county pride in him to fill any office; and the man who fails to take his own county paper is doing what would bring that on the county if there were enough narrow minded bigots to follow him. Miss Laura Morgan, who has a class in the girls’ high school of Atlanta, and who is a sister of our fellow townsman, Mr. S. H. Morgan, was a party to a heroic j marriage last Sunday evening. She was eugaged to Prof F. B. White, and he is j quite sick. Miss Laura conceived the | idea that her care and immediate atien- ! tion WAmld soothe the sufferings of her lover, and with that, true devotion for which our southern girls are famous, she I married the man to wait on him and help I him iuhis affliction. Such Ruth like de ! votion should be honored by all loyers of true heroism. The Constitution has a half column story about the matter iu which it highly commends the action of ! Miss Morgan. A CARO. Editors Argus: Please give me space to express my gratitude to the good people of Jackson j for their liberal donations to myself and family in our late misfortune. I owe them a debt of gratitude I feel I can never repay. Respectfully, J. A. Burpee.

The great ball of fire which passed over Atlanta on the night of the 13th instant, causing an intensely brilliant illumination, burst directly over Sinking mountain, near Tallulah Falls. The report startled the whole country and the concussion waR like an earthquake shoek. The fissmes iu Sinking moun tain were greatly enlarged and many trees on the brink of the landslide fell into the sink. A party of ’possum hunters, stopping with “Aunt Fanny,” the famous moonshiner, were near the spot and witnessed the explosion of the fiery sphere. The next day they returned to the locality and found a large amount of mineral debris, a coil of what ap peared to be electric wire and other cu riosities. The only way in which it dif fered from the common little meteor we see nearly every night was in size, ft was a very large meteor. Burglars. The boys “got in” then work at Jen kinsbuig Sunday night. They again j broke into the store of Whitaker & Childs. The only thing missed to date is some tobacco and a few shirts. The money of the firm was in the Jackson bank. The robbers were regular pro fessionals, as was proven by a tool they left behind them, with which they cut the iron bars. We Will Welcome You. Following is a letter received by us one day this week from a dissatisfied settler in far off lowa, and those hayi ig lands for sale might do well to drop him a letter of information, as we have done, thus showing our hospitality to new comers: J. G. McDonald, Esq., Jackson, Ga.: Dear Sir—l am thinking of locating in the South, and would like to know something of the prices of farm lands, products, wages of farm laborers, etc. Is there an opening for a i good Business College ? I know what the land is around Jackson and Indian Spring. My father was a resident of Butts county at one time, I believe until 1856, and I have heard much about that and Henry county, hut do not know what changes have taken place since then. If I locate, it will "be with a colony com posed of the best of young men, with ample means. If lam satisfied with the information I will come down and look over the country this spring. I will want about 1,200 acres of good land, with pasturage. Please let me hear from you at your earliest opportunity. Yours truly, F. M. Bookhart. Thompson Bros, sell 27 pounds N. O. Brown Sugar for sl, and 25 pounds White Sugar for sl. Peas wanted at the Globe Store, marl-tf C. G. Fennell & Cos. gggggg A Haunted House. The hobgoblins will get you if you ! don’t watch out. A mile from town there is a haunted house. It is on the farm of Mr. W. M. Mallet, and occupied by negroes. Tl>e pillows fly across the room and the chairs turn somersaults over the floor, say the negro occupants. We will investigate the matter and let our readers know whether it is a male or female, black or white ghost. Tl*e New Court House. We hope that our grand juiy next week will recommend the building of a new court house for Butts county. If there is an improvement of any kind which will add more to the material in terests of our town and county than a new court house, we are at a loss to de termine it. It is only a question of a few years when one will have to be built, and it is our opiuiou that it can be done cheaper now than at any other time. The present structure, with its many in conveniences, should be torn away and anew and commodious building erected in its stead. Bonds can be issued, and the railroad tax for the next ten or fif teen years will be sufficient to pay all expenses incurred in so doiDg, without levying one cent of tax upon a resident of Butts county. A large p irtion of the money expended for labor, etc., will find its way to our merchants here at home, and thus, besides giving the residents of our county a handsome court house, it will in a measure aid iu relieving the stringency of money now so noticeable in our midst. Now is the accepted time to make a move in this direction, and we feel assured that the grand jury drawn for next week will see it in the same light. If your paper has a blue pencil mark on it next to the article headed “Last Notice,” you may know that your time has expired, or you owe us for back subscription.
